American Garages is a place that houses expensive tools and automobiles.
This is a highly restricted keyspace and is open to violent attacks.
However, those attacks take some time even on such a small keyspace.
Kamkar, a serial hacker who works as an independent developer and consultant says Its a huge joke.
Meaning we sent 13 bits to test two 12-bit codes instead of sending a full 24 bits.
As long as we send every 12 bit code, the 8-11 bit codes will all be tested simultaneously.
Kamkar made use of an algorithm known as the De Bruijn sequence to automate this process.
He then loaded his code onto a discontinued Mattel toy called IM-ME.
It also works on older systems made by Chamberlain, Liftmaster, Stanley, Delta-3, and Moore-O-Matic.
I dont think theres any solution to having a really small key space.
Upgrade is the only solution.
Kamkar has released the source code for the OpenSesame attack.
However, it intends it to serve as a warning, not a how-to manual.
In fact, he has also disabled the code so that criminals are not able to use it.
He refrained from commenting on exactly how he has disable his exploit.
He has also built a 3-D printed robot that can open Masterlock combination locks in seconds.
I got all of this working late last year (2014).
Its a sticky situation.
I havent even figured out what Im supposed to do to my own garage, Kamkar says.
I dont have a great solution for anyone, including myself.
